1
Take the motorcycle for at least a fifteen minute test
drive. Use this time to determine if the clutch needs to "grab" more or
less. For example, if you pull in the clutch lever and it is difficult
to shift, it grabs too much. On the other hand, if when you let the
clutch lever out the motorcycle is low on power, it is not grabbing
enough.

2
Set the motorcycle on its kickstand or, if like some dirt
bikes, it does not have one, prop it against a solid object so that it
will not fall over while being worked on.

3
Loosen the clutch cable if the clutch needs to "grab" more,
via the clutch cable adjuster bolts near the crankcase, until there is a
small amount of play in the cable. You should be able to move the
clutch lever just slightly with no change in the clutch's actuation.

4
Tighten the clutch cable if you need the clutch to "grab"
less. Tighten the cable until there is only a small amount of play left
in the cable. Pulling the lever from now on will make a much larger
difference in clutch actuation.

5
Tighten the clutch cable adjusters near the crank case and
take the motorcycle for a test ride in an open, private area. While
riding, use your left hand to adjust the barrel adjuster where the cable
housing meets the clutch lever to fine tune the adjustments made
previously. When you feel the clutch is set up properly, return to your
work area and tighten the barrel adjuster stop so that it will not
loosen as you ride.

This is not normal. Dirty oil can cause the clutch plates to grab. Try doing an oil change. Some oils and lubricants can cause the friction plates to swell which can also cause the plates to grab. Use 10w40 motor oil in the gear box. Don't use any synthetic oils, oil marked "EC", or oil with "special" additives. Stick with the major brands; Pennzoil, Quaker State, Mobil or Shell. If in hot areas like Texas or New Mexico go with 20w50.

Take the screws out of the cover to the recoil. After removing the bar and chain, take a racthet with the correct size socket which should be a half inch; put ratchet in tightening position. Attach a pair of vise grips to the inner piece of the clutch just outside of the threads that screw onto the engine shaft. You may need to grab the grab the vise grips with a crescent wrench as close to the clutch as possible. Grab the crescent wrench and the ratchet firmly and turn, that baby should come right off. I just took my clutch and sprocket off of a poulan model 2055 a week ago and I am getting a new assembly tomorrow from poulan.It's not really hard to do, you can do it. Hope I was helpful!
